That day I decided to move earlier because
yesterday I was so slow. So after having breakfast at 7am I moved
earlier. It was good walk as I was walking on flat land, so I was
enjoying and walking fast. I saw French group after me, they were
also going up to charang. I reached small village and continued
walking following the road. I saw another village from far and think
will rest there. So I continued walking but the road was so long,
like never ending road. I was surprised what is going on, just like I
am walking no where. It was really long road. Finally after two hour
reached village and the dog started barked when he saw me. I stopped
because the dog was scary, he was barking on me as if he would ate
me. Then I saw some people coming from other side and he again start
barking on them. It was funny the way he was barking, they saw my
scary face and smile and stand near dog for photo and then I ran from
there and there in front of me was steep hill for climb. I can saw
Krishna from far, they were near to me. After five minutes I started
climbing hill and took almost two hours to finish it. There were some
other group on the top of hill busy with their camera as view was
amazing. Far away I saw sand colour hill and it mesmerised me.
Thinking I can reach there I start walking because from there all the
way was down so I feel excited to walk and little bit scare because I
was walking alone. But on those mountain nothing to be scared, no
thief or anything else except snow leopard and it was not winter.

On the way to Ghemi
I kept continue walking until reached this place because I was confused which way to take as there was two roads. I decided to stop there and wait for other people. The view was amazing , far away I could see white snowy mountain and near to me it was desert land. After one hour I saw two Nepali porters and I followed them. I have to climb up and from there and from top we could see Ghemi village. From the top I t was again deep down till the village. The village seems beautiful, peace.I felt how peaceful the place is, only you can hear is the wind nothing else. It can be the best destination for holiday, you will feel you are back to 20th century because the people wearing their cultural dress and the village houses are like old houses made of soil. For me it was interesting and perfect place I choose for trekking. After one hour I reached Ghemi, our lunch spot.

I saw an old women outside of our hotel,{up in the picture}r work. I was so hungry as always and went directly to kitchen ordered food. The old women entered kitchen and greeted me with smile and asked me if I am alone. I informed her that other people also coming. Then she went back to her work. After one hour Krishna with his group arrived. I went outside and started talking with old lady. She smiled at me and asked me where I am from and I answered Kathmandu. I asked her age and she answered in Tibetan Language. I don't understand her language and then one guy came and explained in Nepali. It was seventy two. Later on I got that she cant tell numbers in Nepali. I asked her permission for clicking her photo but she denied and the reason was she is not beautiful and old.I smiled and told her she looks like my grandmother and I am missing her so much, so I feel like family environment with her. Finally she agreed and I clicked and showed her. She told "I am getting older and older day by day. I want to die soon. Life is very difficult here. Our hard work even doesn't pay us with food for the whole year. We have to bring from city. Living in mountains is not easy, everywhere you have to walk. Whole life I spent like that and now I cant walk like before. Its better to die then to be like this."It was really emotional moment for me and it was truth also somehow. I was speechless. Other tourist also were there but they don't get what was she saying and they were also taking picture of her. I decided to move. From ghemi it was down and have to cross steel bridge, little bit up and then I reached long wall near the red hill. It was amazing view from far away. I was confused which way I have to follow again. I waited for Krishna, then after few minutes they arrived and I followed them.
Then we again have to climb hill, again tough for me. It was windy and dusty road, and I was back again. Finally after two hour we finished climbing and finally reached top. Everyday was happy hard time for day was end. From there it was down al the way to charang. We all started walking on flat land. I was enjoying as I could see people looking after their cattle and they uses horses as their vehicles and I could saw horses carrying food and other stuffs. The view was going more beautiful and interesting

Way to charrang
.After walking almost three hours we reached Charang, one of the beautiful village. There are only two hotel in this village. I was so dirty and smelling because it was three- four days I haven't showered because it was so cold and it was impossible to take cold shower. After having Tibetan tea I went for hot shower but I have to wait few minutes as there were already people on the line.Finally I took shower and have good food, then t bed with sweet dreams.
